In the Material Order settings, you will be able to configure and specify how your MO will look and behave.

Because you have different divisions to separate your data, you might also want to do this for your MO's. This is why you can divide your MO data per:

  • Division

  • Customer

  • Supplier

  • Service Level

  • Organization

  • Company Code

  • Order Type

  • Origin Region

  • Origin Location

  • Origin Country

Order Logic

We've put tooltips on almost every section. When you hover over it, you will see a small explanation of what every single option does.

If there is no tooltip or needs more explanation, you will find it below.

Criteria to allow Activation

Here you set the criteria to allow activation:

  • Packing date: A packing date needs to be present before the MO is allowed to activate. (through API)

  • Picking date: A picking date needs to be present before the MO is allowed to activate (through API)

  • Package identifiers: A package identifier needs to be present before the MO is allowed to activate. This can be set up within Control Tower

Schedule Calculation

Initial Delay: This value will be used if no Scheduled From/To times have been inserted for the arrival milestone on the first TO stop. Normally the Schedule would be then calculated to Time of Order Creation + Initial Delay (if any, otherwise it's just Time of Order Creation). So in the example above, if we would create an order at 13:45, the Arrive schedule of the first Collection stop would be 13:55. It is important to note that later on when the order is in transit, it will take that scheduled time based on the calculated route.

Transit Time: The scheduled times will be calculated based on the available scheduled collection/delivery time on the Material Order and the Transit Time value of the matching rate zone. For more info about this, click here.

Auto-Complete: Each time a Material Order is saved, the system will try to auto-complete one of the missing scheduled times using the setting provided by the user

Here you can add a time in minutes either TO or FROM collection and delivery.

Require cancel reason

If this boxed is checked, whenever an order is canceled, a reason for cancellation will be required.

This action requires reason codes, which can be found here.

Emails

More information about setting up emails and email contact settings.

Airway bills

Here you can input your Air Waybill number range. From x to x range.

The sequence warning gives you an alert when you are x-numbers from the last air waybill number.
